The Centripetal Force

[Welcome back from Sochi]

People regard love as an emotion. It
is true that love can be expressed in emotional terms, but reaches deep within
the essence that is often ignored by many.

When our world began, it was no more than an idea. Gradually
it took shape and increased in diversity. After billions of years we have
achieved relative complexity, which we measure in atoms and subatomic
particles. Lately, scientists are talking in terms of quantum computers that,
thanks to their vastly increased complexity and thus the apparently inevitable
miniaturization, will be able to perform countless calculations simultaneously,
millions of times faster than our present Turing model.

Due to this shrinking of the components, complexity
increases as we drift farther and farther apart from the original Singularity.

This is where love comes in. In phenomenal universe love is
the centripetal force that holds us together. Even as it binds men with women,
with children, sometimes nations or even species to each other, so the Earth
would fly off into the coldness of outer space without it. Likewise we,
creatures of mind and emotions, would drift away from our original purpose.

We must never forget that the physical, phenomenal world is
little more than a stopping station for us, people aware of their purpose, to
experience the thrill of becoming, and add our experiences to the infinite
storehouse of the Universal Mind. We, of course, are the atoms, endowed with
self-awareness, which combine to create this Mind that reaches above and beyond
the limitations of the material universe.

Not one of us is redundant, unnecessary or superfluous. If
we do not meet our obligations and add our assigned tasks to the totality of
the Mind, we shall continue to return and inhabit physical bodies, until our
unique purpose is done. Only then we shall have a choice to remain a conscious
part of the Whole, or to return to the phenomenal universe to help others meet
their tasks.

We can choose to do so forever, or for a few billion earthly
years until the centripetal force pulls us back to the place of our origin.

All this concerns our consciousness, our mind. It has
nothing to do with our physical bodies, with the phenomenal universe. And It,
the Universe of our thoughts, continues to expand at ever increasing velocity.

For now, and in the foreseeable future, we shall continue to
expand our awareness of the true reality. Yet, it seems, the farther we drift
from the Original Source, the stronger will be the pull of the centripetal
force. Our “phenomenal” scientists, unable to accept anything that cannot be
perceived with their physical senses, call it the “big bang”. They forget that
before the “big bang” there was no space, no time, no matter, not even energy.
Only Oneness.

About Me

An architect, sculptor, and prolific writer was educated in Poland and England. Since 1965 he has resided in Canada. His special interests cover a broad spectrum of arts, sciences, and philosophy. His fiction and non-fiction attest to his particular passion for the scope and the development of Human Potential. Under his real name, he published seven non-fiction books sharing his vision of reality. He also composed two collections of poems in his original native tongue in which he satirizes his view of the world while paying homage to Bozena Happach's sculptures. As an architect [RIBA, MRAIC, OAQ ret.] he designed a number high rise buildings in Montreal, including Regency Hyatt Hotel (now Delta), Place Mercantile, Headquarters for the Mutual Alliance, as well as a number of low and middle rise structures for private clients. In the National Capital he was the associate in charge of design of Royal Bank Headquarters on Sparks Street.
